Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

"CCTV!"

"CCTV!"

"Dear viewers, you are now watching the Asian Cup quarter-final match between China and South Korea!"

"The team wearing white jerseys and attacking from left to right is the Chinese team, and the team wearing red jerseys and white shorts is the Korean team."

Today CCTV's commentary pair is still Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun. Fans feel that it is safe just by hearing their voices.

[It’s stable, it’s stable. With Coach Zhang and Teacher Zhan suppressing the luck of the national football team, the national football team will be stable in this game! 】

[In the past two years, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun have commented on the Chinese national football team and the Chinese team has never lost a single match. They are really the lucky stars of the Chinese team! ]

[Teachers, please bless the Chinese national football team to defeat the South Korean team successfully, please! ]

The two obviously couldn't see the discussion of the fans outside the TV camera. After introducing the starting lineups of the two teams, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun started chatting while the captains of the two teams were exchanging team flags.

Zhan Jun was the first to find a topic: "Teacher Zhang, have you seen the bet between Coach Zhu Guanghu and the Korean reporter a few days ago?"

Zhang Lu nodded, indicating that she had heard of it.

This matter has been widely reported in both countries. Major media and even football legends have discussed it a lot in the past two days. If you pay attention to football news, it is impossible not to know about it.

Seeing that the other party knew about this, Zhan Jun asked:
"Then do you think Zhu Guanghu can still keep his position as commander?"

This is actually asking whether the Chinese team can defeat the South Korean team.

Zhang Lu smiled and said: "It's hard to say, after all, the ball is round, but judging from the morale, form, and strength of the two teams, the Chinese national team still has a clear advantage.

The key to this game lies in whether the Korean team can restrict the Chinese team's midfield, especially Lin Feng. If they can't restrict him, then the Korean team's defense will find it difficult to resist the Chinese team's attack, and their chances of winning will be slim!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jun did not refute, but just nodded silently, his eyes involuntarily looking at the player wearing the number 8 jersey on the field.

Even the commentators could see the problem, but the head coach of the South Korean team couldn't imagine it.

Therefore, Lin Feng will probably have to bear tremendous pressure in this game.

On the field, the 11 players of the Chinese national football team stood near the center circle and were making the final mobilization.

Captain Li Weifeng took the lead in extending his hand and said through gritted teeth:
"Fuck the fucking Koreans!"

"Fuck the Koreans!"

"No doubt about it, we must defeat them!"

While uttering harsh words, everyone stretched out their hands and pressed on the back of the captain's hands.

“Three, two, one, come on!”

At 18:20, with the referee’s whistle, the much-anticipated China-South Korea battle kicked off!
In the coin-tossing session before the game, the South Korean team won the right to kick off.

After the game started, the South Korean team continued their previous playing style and launched an active attack on the Chinese team from the first second.

After a short transition and transmission, the South Korean team passed the ball to the feet of left winger Lian Jixun.

Lian Jixun tried to break through Sun Jihai, but failed and was forced to pass back to his teammates in the middle.

After receiving the ball, South Korea's No. 10 Li Chunxiu wanted to continue to force his way forward, but there were too many people in front of him and there was not much space. His breakthrough quickly failed and even the ball under his feet was intercepted.

Lin Feng cooperated with Zheng Zhi. After snatching the ball from Li Tianxiu, he kicked the ball to Zheng Zhi with his back, and then turned around and sprinted forward desperately.

The South Korean team pressed forward in a big way, which was a great opportunity to counterattack.

Zheng Zhi obviously understood it very well, and he quickly passed the ball to Chen Tao in the front left.

Chen Tao passed the ball without stopping and passed it to Lin Feng.

At this time, Lin Feng had already run from the front of his own penalty area to near the center circle.

After receiving the pass from Chen Tao, he shook off Sun Dahao who was rushing towards him with a quick move.

Sun Dahao obviously underestimated Lin Feng's speed and made a wrong judgment, which led to him being completely defeated by Lin Feng in the blink of an eye!

The Korean players nearby were all shocked. Kim Sang-sik, who was planning to rush forward, quickly changed his tactics and used a tactical foul to knock Lin Feng to the ground, preventing the Chinese team's counterattack.

There was a chorus of boos from the stands, as the fans were very dissatisfied with the Korean player's tactical foul.

In addition to fans from China and South Korea, there were also a large number of neutral fans attending the game.

If Kim Sang-sik hadn't committed a tactical foul just now, they would have been able to see Lin Feng's stunning performance on the spot.

This kind of goal has only been seen in live broadcasts and goal highlights of Serie A and the Champions League in the past. It was so disappointing that I finally saw it live, but it was ruined by the Koreans!

Chinese fans don’t care about these details at this time. They only care about whether Lin Feng was injured?

Fortunately, Lin Feng quickly got up from the ground and seemed uninjured.

The referee showed a yellow card to Kim Sang-sik who committed the foul and awarded the Chinese team a free kick in the frontcourt.

Lin Feng took the free throw himself and lofted the ball into the penalty area, accurately finding the Chinese national team's forward Han Peng.

It’s a pity that Han Peng’s header was deflected due to the interference of the opponent’s players.

At this point, less than two minutes into the game, both sides had completed an attack and the first yellow card appeared.

The pace of this game may be faster than many people expected!
The Korean players, startled by the Chinese team's counterattack, immediately tightened their restrictions on Lin Feng.

Park Ji-sung no longer cared about attacking and focused all his attention on guarding Lin Feng.

In his opinion, as long as he could freeze Lin Feng, then even if he did not participate in the attack, relying on the strength of his teammates, he would be able to win the game.

This is not the first time Lin Feng and Park Ji-sung have faced off. The two have faced off in the Champions League knockout round.

That time, Park Ji-sung was also arranged by Ferguson to restrict Lin Feng, wanting to rely on his excellent running ability and abnormal physical fitness to consume or even freeze Lin Feng.

But the final result was that Manchester United was defeated miserably by Inter Milan, and Park Ji-sung failed to complete the task assigned to him by Ferguson.

Now that the two are fighting again, there is a hint of solemnity in Park Ji-sung's eyes.

Although the Korean media praised him to the skies, as if Lin Feng would surrender as soon as he took action.

But Park Ji-sung, who had suffered a loss once, was not so blindly confident. He knew very well how powerful his opponent was.

So he put in 120% of his concentration, running all over the field regardless of his physical strength, and pestering Lin Feng relentlessly.

Therefore, the audience in the stands soon discovered that Lin Feng had a new "follower". Wherever he went, the other person followed him, as if he was a pendant growing out of his body!
[Is it really that far? Lin Feng didn't catch or pass the ball, he was just walking on the court, but Park Ji-sung was still chasing him. Isn't this too much? ]

[The Korean team is really well prepared. Being stared at by Park Ji-sung, Lin Feng's room to play will be very limited, and other players dare not pass the ball to him.]

[We can’t rely on Lin Feng for everything, the other players of the national football team must step up! ]

Under Park Ji-sung's relentless pursuit, Lin Feng seemed to be restricted by the Korean team.

The other players of the Chinese national team seemed a little uncomfortable with the South Korean team's extremely aggressive style of play.

Especially Chen Tao. In the first ten minutes of the game, he was violated and even knocked down by the opponent many times due to his thin body.

The South Korean team played very aggressively, or rather, dirty.

Some of their players, such as Li Chunxiu, Lian Jixun and others, have a lot of small moves on the court, and use physical confrontation to mess with you from time to time.

This kind of action is like trash talk on the basketball court, which is not very harmful but extremely insulting. The opponent deliberately uses this method to provoke your emotions and arouse your anger, so that you lose your mind and behave irrationally on the court.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Li Tianxiu made another trick and kicked Zheng Zhi from behind.

Zheng Zhi is not a good-tempered person. After getting up from the ground, he wanted to fight with the opponent.

Captain Li Weifeng even rushed over and tried to strangle Li Tianxiu's neck!
"Captain, calm down. If you take action now, you will fall into the opponent's trap and you will most likely be sent off with a red card!"

Lin Feng quickly stopped Li Weifeng, he knew Li Weifeng's hot temper too well.

After all, in his previous life, he had seen a conflict between Li Weifeng and Guoan players, which triggered a series of events that led to the Wuhan team's angry withdrawal from the competition.

"So what do you think we should do? Are we just going to let those little Korean bastards bully us?"

"of course not!"

Seeing his teammates all leaning in, Lin Feng lowered his voice and said:

"I heard that Manchester United players like to give their opponents a warning at the beginning of the game. I think we can learn from them and give him a warning too!"

"Okay, wrap it up on me!"

Li Weifeng took the task on himself without saying a word.

Thanks to the efforts of the referee team, the conflict between the players from both sides was quickly resolved.

Zheng Zhi and Li Yunxiu were each given a lash of the slapping stick by the referee and a yellow card.

Although he was given a yellow card warning, Li Yunxiu was very proud.

He is an offensive player and the yellow card has little impact on him.

But Zheng Zhi is a defensive midfielder and has a heavy defensive task, so this yellow card has a much greater impact on him!

But he soon stopped laughing!

A few minutes later, when Li Yunxiu was trying to break through with the ball in the frontcourt, Li Weifeng suddenly rushed out of the penalty area and knocked him to the ground with a sliding tackle.

After tackling the ball, Li Weifeng glanced at the Korean player who was rolling on the ground with disdain. He didn't even think of arguing with the referee and went straight back to his defensive position.

If he hadn't been worried about getting a red card, his kick would have been even more ferocious and he would have shown no mercy.

The referee showed no mercy and showed him a yellow card to warn him.

Two key defensive players of the Chinese national football team received yellow cards in succession within just a few minutes, which made the fans very worried.

But the fans gave warm applause to Li Weifeng for standing up for his teammates.

Although I am not calm enough, but be damn calm, this is the time to give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
Seeing that the Chinese national team's defense line received two yellow cards, the Korean team's morale was boosted.

Realizing they had the upper hand, they launched a more fierce attack.

Lian Jixun was extremely active in the frontcourt, breaking through, cutting inside, and passing the ball, and the noise was very loud.

However, the one guarding the right side is Sun Jihai, who has rich defensive experience. In Sun's prime, he could even defend against Cristiano Ronaldo. What could a mere Lian Jixun do to him?
The South Korean team chose to attack from the right, but they made a wrong calculation!
Before the game, Zhu Guanghu anticipated that the opponent would play aggressively, so he arranged a quick counterattack tactic in a targeted manner.

The Chinese national football team resolutely implemented the tactics set by the head coach and launched a counterattack against the opponent as soon as possible after successfully defending.

However, since Park Ji-sung was following Lin Feng, his teammates did not dare to pass the ball to him. They could only give the ball to Shao Jiayi or Chen Tao and let them be responsible for the advancement.

Chen Tao is also very good at holding the ball and advancing, but the South Korean team, having learned from previous lessons, was extremely determined in their counterattack after losing the ball.

When the Chinese national team passes the ball in a counterattack, the Koreans will often send three or four players to rush forward and press the ball.

Faced with this kind of encirclement, Chen Tao had trouble holding the ball and had to give up passing the ball forward and pass the ball back to Zheng Zhi who was in a safer position, asking him to reorganize the team.

Seeing this, Lin Feng shook off Park Ji-sung and accelerated towards Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi understood what he meant and passed the ball immediately.

In order to prevent Lin Feng from stopping to receive the ball and being caught up by Park Ji-sung, he deliberately left a little advance time and passed the ball in front of Lin Feng so that he could receive his pass without slowing down!
Well done!
Lin Feng secretly praised him in his heart, no wonder even an internationally renowned coach like Lippi praised Zheng Zhi highly, his football IQ was really beyond words.

It is so comfortable to cooperate with such teammates.

Park Ji-sung was a little annoyed. When he wasn't paying attention, the other party jumped out.

By the time he reacted and started chasing after him, the other person had already run several meters away.

This guy seemed to be stared at by me just now, but it turned out that was not the case at all.

What he did just now was just an act!

In an instant, Park Ji-sung realized that he was being played as a monkey by the other party.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He sprinted with all his might and finally caught up with Lin Feng.

However, just when he caught up with Lin Feng, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, then changed direction of the ball and got rid of Park Ji-sung again!

Park Ji-sung quickly braked, he knew in his heart that he was being fooled by this guy again!

Lin Feng knew that Park Ji-sung had only been left behind by him temporarily. With the opponent's running ability, he would catch up with him in no time.

So he must pass the ball quickly. Without the ball, he can completely get rid of the opponent's entanglement.

The Korean players on the field were very surprised to see Lin Feng break free from Park Ji-sung's defense, and they also tacitly surrounded Lin Feng, trying to steal the ball from his feet by encircling him.

Lin Feng was worrying about who to pass the ball to, but unexpectedly, someone handed him a pillow when he fell asleep.

It wasn't wrong for the other party to choose to double-team him, but when they did that, Chen Tao was left open.

Without saying a word, Lin Feng dunked past a Korean player who was trying to steal the ball and quickly passed the ball.

Just like Zheng Zhi just now, Lin Feng's ball also gave some lead time.

Chen Tao guessed Lin Feng's intention by the speed of the ball, so he wisely chose not to stop to catch the ball, but turned around on the spot, and the football appeared right in front of him.

"nice shot!"

"Lin Feng took the ball out of the crowd, leaving a large gap in front of Chen Tao. The Chinese team is counterattacking!"

"Chen Tao's through ball gives Han Peng a one-on-one chance!"

In the commentary booth, when Zhan Jun saw Han Peng got a chance to score alone, his tone suddenly became higher, and his mood was as nervous as many fans, becoming extremely nervous.

You must go in!

This is the best chance for the Chinese national football team so far in the first half, we must seize it!

South Korean goalkeeper Lee Woon-jae chose to abandon the goal and opened his arms, trying to put pressure on Han Peng.

But Han Peng was not affected by the opponent. He glanced in the direction of the goal and calmly chose to shoot into the far corner.

Li Yun subconsciously reached out to grab it, but caught nothing.

The ball brushed past his fingertips, crossed the goal line, and crashed into the South Korean team's goal.

The score became 1:0!

In the 22nd minute of the first half, the Chinese team took advantage of a counterattack to score the first goal! (End of this chapter)
